Free From This

By Bruce Clifford

Free from this.
Free from that.
Making plans.
The primordial attack.

Learning way.
Space and free.
All that’s left.
It’s only you and me.

Only you and I can get by.
It only matters if we try.
I never wanted to be king.
The heartache it all would bring.

Only you and I could make it high and dry.
It doesn’t matter if this story ends.
I thought we started out as friends.

Free from this.
Free from that.
Making plans.
The primordial attack.
